ENTRY: PIXEL PITCH

By Lance Weiler, June 28th, 2009

Power to the Pixel, an influential conference for the art and craft of digital storytelling has just announced a call for entry. The Pixel Pitch is looking for cross-media projects that have a film focus. I was fortunate to take part in the first Pixel Pitch with my newest project HiM. This innovative program offers an opportunity for those who are experimenting with cross-media storytelling to connect directly with funders, broadcast partners, and brands. And if that weren’t enough of a step forward this year’s Pixel Pitch adds a cash award of £6,000 to the top project. For full guidelines and info visit www.powertothepixel.com

From the site:

The Pixel Pitch is Power to the Pixel’s ground-breaking new pitching forum for up to ten of the best UK and international cross-media film projects.

We are looking for stories that can span film, TV, online, mobile and gaming to be presented to a select group of financiers, commissioners, tech companies, online portals and media companies in front of an audience of PTTP participants.

The selected project teams will compete for the
BABELGUM PIXEL PITCH PRIZE of £6,000.

Teams will benefit from significant international publicity and be introduced to new international business and partnership opportunities as well as one-to-one consultancies.

Last year’s Launch saw four cross-media projects presented to international companies including Babelgum, Sony Computer Entertainment, BBC, YouTube, MySpace, Amazon, Channel 4, UK Film Council, Arts Council of England, Tribeca Film Institute.

Yes, I agree. Very nice analysis. It is undeniable that the gaming world is consntantly evolving but at the same time will it ever hit that mainstream status that Hollywood has? Perhaps when younger games become older and have more money to spend? I dont know. Time will tell.

Fantastic analysis of the state of games Jason. The gaming industry at large has always suffered from a major inferiority complex, especially when dealing with Hollywood.
